Gary, as one that can scarcely imagine I weep with you and your family. From this deficit I pray that God be with you and your family and touch you all very deeply with is infinite love and peace in your time of need and loss. May He sustain you all.

Dear Gary and Michelle, I was so shocked and saddened to hear about the loss of your son. Please know that there are so many here whose lives you have touched deeply who are keeping you in their hearts and prayers.

From the time I was conceived God had for me a planHe wanted me to get involved to help my fellow manI know some were against it but God knows what is bestSince the day He took me home I've had perfect rest

Heaven is so beautiful - I'm walking streets of goldNow I'm serving others including saints of oldI know some still have anger about the way I diedBut God and I both have seen the many tears you've cried

He is a God of comfort - His love will never ceaseGive your feelings to Him and He will give you peaceAs difficult as it may be please don't hold a grudgeRemember this my loved ones - God alone will judge

Then on that Resurrection Day when all the saints will riseThe Lord will reunite us together in the skiesSo don't give up dear friends - my memory is still alivePut your trust in the Lord and believe me you'll survive

Everybody's already expressed my sentiments and I don't want to be another skip of the broken record about the failure of words in a moment like this. Just rest in the Word that's never failed you or him, knowing that His covenant He will not break nor alter the thing that's gone out of His mouth according to the Psalms. Count it all joy and count it as a seed towards victorious ministry knowing that this was as much an attack of the enemy upon you and Tentmaker as it was upon Scott.

We're not ignorant of the Enemy's devises and Devil's not gaining an inch of ground with this ministry or our lives with inordinate grief. Grief is a part of the Scriptures where times of grieving this kind of loss were prescribed, and that always must be balanced with "Himself took our griefs and carried our sorrows" 'cause as someone previously said, this is a parent's worst nightmare, or one of them.

The closeness to the holidays and that touching upon a life time of memories only seems to add to the salt that's gone in the wound. But He's faithful and obviously this is a wakeup call that we're never going to allow Devil to get this close again with stealing, killing, and destroying. Those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High call upon Him and He answers them, He's with us in these times to honor us according to Psalm 91, and the generation of the upright is blessed according to Psalm 112. In Christian circles we've been blessed as few have been to know Him as Psalm 103 talks about where we know His ways, and His thoughts towards us are thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give us a future and a hope according to Jeremiah 29:11.

Goodness and mercy have unquestionably overtaken Scott and He's prepared a table before us in the presence of this grief. He will rise from the dead. Lord Jesus said that if we believed, we'd see the glory of God. Scott died in faith, and God's prepared something wonderful for your family that he without you cannot be made perfect 'cause Lord Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith and He's Lord of both the living and the dead. Though with long life He'll satisfy you, you'll see your desire upon your enemies. When all things are made subject to Him, then will the Son likewise be subject to the Father so that God will be all in all.

A way of reading that, [that I've not yet seen in the Church Fathers about it, and I've not seen any other authors bring this up whether ancient or modern]: is that as long as death isn't yet under our feet, to that degree 1Corinthians 15 is saying that we're not yet subject to the Father 'cause He didn't make Covenant with us in the Blood of His own Son for us to be bound by Pharoah. As heart and memories are challenging Death [as though he were Pharoah] for the rest of the future until..., just realize [cleave to the hope that] the day has to come when Death is drowned in the Red Sea of the Blood of Lord Jesus and you'll hug him and hold him once again one of these days.

i heard a chassidic teaching from Rabbi Nachman of Breslov when i lived in israel. RN lived in Ukraine from 1772-1810. He too lost a son (as an infant). In fact he lost all three of his male children. it went something like this:

God allows only his most intimate friends to share in His grief over the spiritual darkness of His world. This is because He is a King, and a King does not show his true emotions to just anyone. One way God shares His grief with us is by allowing us to also experience grief.

Your loss of Scott allows you a glimpse into God's grief when He too loses His children.

God Bless You and Comfort You Both! And thanks for being there for all of us in this time of your pain and sorrow!

Thank you Lord for Scott, thank you for his life and because of the mark he left on this world more and more people will hear the Good News through the apologetic site. Thank you that grief is only temporary but the christlike character it builds will last eternity. Bless the family at this time and bring them peace in the way only You can.
